Stem Cell Therapy

What is stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy is a form of biologic medicine that uses your body’s own stem cells to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. By reducing inflammation and encouraging tissue regeneration, stem cell therapy can restore mobility and promote long-lasting relief without surgery.

Stem cells have the unique ability to transform themselves into different types of cells, such as bone, muscle, or cartilage, making them essential for healing. When injected into an injured area, these cells work to stimulate new tissue growth and restore normal function.

Unlike medications that only mask pain or surgeries that require long recovery times, stem cell therapy focuses on addressing the underlying cause of pain. By harnessing the body’s own healing power, it can reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and promote long-lasting tissue repair.

Whether you’ve struggled with chronic pain for years or are recovering from an injury, stem cell therapy may offer an effective, minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures. At Advanced Pain Management of Arizona, the goal is simple: help patients heal naturally and return to a life free from pain.

What conditions can stem cell therapy treat?

The Advanced Pain Management of Arizona team uses stem cell therapy to address a wide range of painful conditions, including:

• Arthritis and joint degeneration
• Back and neck pain
• Joint pain
• Tendon or ligament injuries
• Rotator cuff tears
• Labrum and meniscus cartilage injuries
• Degenerative disc disease
• Chronic inflammation and muscle damage

Because it targets pain's root cause, stem cell therapy is ideal for patients seeking natural, long-term relief without surgery.

How is stem cell therapy performed?

Before the procedure, your provider collects a small sample of stem cells from your bone marrow or fatty tissue. They then process the sample to concentrate the healing cells before they inject them into the affected area under image guidance.

The treatment is an in-office procedure and typically takes less than an hour.

What can I expect after receiving stem cell therapy?

You won’t get instant relief from stem cell therapy as it takes time to work.

Most patients notice gradual improvement over several weeks as healing progresses. Mild soreness may develop at the injection site, but there’s little to no downtime. Over time, as new tissue develops, pain decreases and mobility improves.
